Auch a great watch… and 40mm is the right size. 36 mm would look too small :)

Love to hear this and the 40 looks perfect on your wrist! It is a sports watch, after all!

So I did and found it suited me equally as well as the 36. After trying on a few more Rolexes, mostly two tone datejusts, the SA said that if neither of the two people who were on the waitlist for the Explorer had responded to her calls by Sunday she’d sell it to me.

I had to admit I thought my chances were slim however upon going back in on Sunday morning I was in luck! Was offered it there and then and now have my first ever Rolex!

Very happy and will try and do future business with the AD despite the distance to get up there!

Have added the freebie I received in addition to the standard Rolex glossy magazine.
Congratulations, a wonderful watch.

Useful freebie as well, especially in Manchester

Thanks for the kind words all! Umbrella has already come in handy due to abysmal conditions this week!

Now onto very preliminary planning for the next piece. It’ll be a GMT I think but which brand who knows?!

I love it. I have the 36, but the 40 is definitely growing on me!
